Why traveling by train?

Since its invention in the 19th century, train travel has never ceased to seduce the many travellers on their adventures. Fast, comfortable, environmentally friendly and now at low-budget, travel by train has many advantages.

Nowadays, some cheaper trains make it possible to travel faster, with comfort! On the other hand, if your first search criterion is price, the train won't be able to compete with the many bus companies offering unbeatable prices. You can also embark on even more unusual adventures thanks to the various offers of night trains!

What are the main train companies in Europe?

In France, the choice is wide. The SNCF offers many different trains, such as the TGV Inoui , the low-cost trains Ouigo , the Intercités day and night, the TER. Or even trains to go to Belgium with Thalys or to Switzerland with Lyria .

To reach Italy? Nothing's easier! Italo and Trenitalia follow you on your travels.

A little desire to go to Germany? Deutsche Bahn and Flixtrain take you to German territory. The German company already offers its trains in the North-East of France, on routes such as Paris-Strasbourg for example.

A little to the east? Regiojet, a Czech company created in 2009, offers trains (but also buses) across Eastern Europe. It is within the 4 different classes that it offers (Low cost, standard, Relax and Business) that you can go to Slovakia or Austria.
